This year’s Sound on Sound Fest in McDade, Texas, has been cancelled. Festival organizers cited “several recent roadblocks outside of our control” as reason for the cancellation, which they said was their “only real option.” The fest was scheduled to take place November 10-12 in Sherwood Forest just outside Austin. All ticket holders will be refunded in full for the cost of their tickets. This year’s Sound on Sound was slated to feature performances by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Iggy Pop, Grizzly Bear, Blood Orange, the Shins, and more. Find the festival’s full announcement below.

Sound on Sound’s organizers have also announced that the majority of artists and bands that were set to perform at the festival will be rescheduled to perform shows at venues around the Austin area. Fans who purchased tickets to Sound on Sound will be given first opportunity to purchase single tickets to any of the makeup shows, which will take place this fall. The schedule for those shows will be announced October 16.
